“I couldn’t be more excited to be here. GME is such a dynamic environment for learning and scholarship and to have the opportunity to build the GME research infrastructure prior to residents arriving will make the experience much more robust. I’m looking forward to building research partnerships throughout the hospital, the Northeast Georgia Health System and the community.”
Dr. Holmes earned her PhD in health communication from the University of Kentucky in 2003. Her undergraduate and master’s degrees are in communication from New York University. In her previous position, Dr. Holmes served as DIO/director of GME at Orange Park Medical Center in Orange Park, FL.
